THE TYPICAL COON DOG.

A good coon dog is born, not made. He is
the Scotchman, or Yankee, of the canine
species-ons trait he must possess above all
others, he must be canny. The Devils HOP
Yard raises the best coon dogs. There are
probably dozen dogs, owned by farmers in
its region about the yard, that cannot be
bought for $50, and for one or two of the
number 500 bill would appeal in vain for
acceptance by way of exchange. Yet two of
them are homely, shaggy looking fellows
about the farm, with brown coats and mild
brown eyes: and another is apparently a
cross between foxhound and a shepherd
dog. In the head of each, just above the
ewes, is bump that sticks out like knob on
an oak root that bunch is supposed TO con.
tain the combination that is set for coons
without which they would not he worth So
and 800 apiece.
The hunters of the hop yard have done lit
tie else since the first day Of October but stiI
up the coons. There is little money in hunt
ing them for their fur or their meat, but it il
customary each fall for hunters to drive ou
to the yard from Norwich, New London
Middletown, and from Moodus and the Had
dams on the Connecticut river for night o
coon hunting, and the local hunters act a
guides. In this way the famous dogs ar
worth their price TO their masters. There i
something wrong with the night or with tn
| hunters if one of these parties returns at day
| light with less than from four to ten coons
The hunters go home with their load c
game, the youngest and fattest animal
carefully dressed by a caterer and roasted
and at night the party and their friends hav
a coon supper, which they wash down wit
mugs of beer, hard cider and sometime
punch Epicures rarely express simila
opinion about the favor of roast coon; SON
think it resembles that of roast pig, othel
detect likeness to that of mutton, sti
others say that it savors of bears meat, an
few profess to find it combination {

A ADREADFUL DEED.
A Man Kills His Wife and then
AttemDtS Suicide,


Special TO the Globe.
WILIMAR, Minn.. Dec. 5.-AbOut G
o'clock this evening James Funk shot
and killd his wife in the Logan house,
in this town. The deed was premedi-
tated and brutal in the extreme. Funk,
who is a dissipated, worthless fellow,
has been until quite recently working
as Switchman in the Manitoba yard
at this place. His wife has been
the main support of her husband
and child and about two weeks ago fell
i'll from OverWork. and up to the time of
her death was confined to her bed. The
proprietor of the Logan house refused
Funk admittance since Mrs. Funk's i'll
hess, and this evening during the pro-
prietOr'S absence Funk gained access to
his wife'S bedroom with the intention
of taking his clothes and leaving her.
Landlord Minor was made aware of
Funk visit and proceeded to the bed
room where Funk and his wife were
talking quietly. Funk asked for a Ian
tern which he claimed belonged ia him,
and Mrs. Funk requested Minor to get
it. Minor started for the lantern and
had hardly got out of the room
when he heard two shots fired
and returned to find Mrs.
Funk shot through the heart.
and her husband lying with bullet
hole through his left side. DI. Frost
WAS Immediately summoned and sue
ceeded in extracting the bullet from
Funk's side. He states that Funk's
wound is not dangerous. Funk was
placed i'll the county Jail and strong
guard is kept over him. Lynching l.
freely talked of. Mrs. Funk was very
much respected by her numerous ac-
quaintances and the sad affair has cast
gloom over the whole town. Funk
evidently intended taking his own life
after shooting his wife. but the villain
could not muster courage for the second
shot after feeling the pain of the first.
lie acknowledged killing his wife and
asked the landlord TO finish him. The
citizens are very indignant and it is
doubtful if Funk will ever reach q court

side. Then came Messrs. Lanham, Of
Texas, and Bliss, of New York, who had
the choice of position on the Democratic
side, but they contented themselves
with seats we'll back in the hall. Penn
sylvania was favored in the person Of
Mr.. O'Neill, who secured position Oh

also in luck, and obtained one of the best
locations in the house from which to

Mr.. Owen, of indiana, is in close proy-

while Mr.. D0ckery, of Missouri, secured

Gated well in front. Mr.. Anderson, Of

risOn'S old seat was secured by Mr.. Glib.

of Kentucky, has a good seat back Of

Messrs. Thomas and Payson, of Illinois;

right. Mr.. Harmer, of Pennsylvania,
returned to his first love, and secured
the seat which until the last congress
he had occupied for number of years.
On the Democratic side MeSSrs. Hatch
and j. Campbell were among fortunes
favoriteS. Mr.. Belmont was not present
when his name was called, and his as
sociates chose for him a seat in the
front row. Mr.. Spinola also located in
the front row, but in better position
than Mr.. Cochran, who, though FORUM
ate enough to obtain front row seat, Is
far to the right. MeSsrs. Crisp, Hemp

contented with seats facing the speaker
from the extreme right, known as
''Sleepy Hollow" Luck didn't come to
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, and he had to ac-
cept the kindness of a friend to secure
even rather poor position. Mr.. Ram
dali was also out of luck, and his name
was one of the last called, but through
the courtesy of his colleague his old
seat had not been appropriated, and he
resumed it. bowling his thanks for the
kindness of his associates. Mr.. Springer
was obliged to establish his headquar-
ters on the Republican side, where he
was greeted with a round of applause.
Subsequently he procured an exchange
to seat on the Democratic side. The
last name called was that of Mr.. Houck,
of Tennessee, and that gentleman had
to take the only unoccupied seat. The
house adjourned.

forged document sent to the cZar.
Count SOltykOff held an interview with
Herbert Bismarck in the presence of
Count SchOuvaloff. the Russian ambaS-
sadOr, and after verifying the papers re-
turned to st. Petersburg to-day. The
Countess WOlkenstein-Trostburg, wife
of the Austrian ambassador at St.

widow of Count SchleinitZ, formerly

chamberlain. She showed her CORE
spondence to Baron JOmini, the cZar'S
advisor, and other anti-Teutons, as well
as to the cZarina, through whom the
ear was influenced. 1t is reported that
Bismarck will ask Emperor William to

Divine Healing.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Rev. John Will
hanson gave to the other Methodist min
listers at their meeting to-day wonder
full experience which he had the past
year He is the pastor of Michigan
Avenue Methodist church. and a year
ago his health was so bad that his doc
tor told him he would have to rest
whole year. 1t was with great reluc-
tance he consented to do this. 1t was
the greatest sacrifice of his life,
Some months afterward this weighed OH
his heart so much that he cried aloud
unto the Lord for Divine aid. DR.. Will
hanson stated that at times he held a
sweet and indeScribable communion
with God, III which he was assured that
his health would be restored. His ply
Sicians had but recently assured him
that he was as well as he ever was be-
fore. and he ascribes this wonderful
cure entirely to Divine healing. The
relating of DIR. Williamson's experience
caused quite a sensation. and many
there were who agreed with him that it
was an example of Divine healing.

STATE SOVEREIGNTY.
A Case Involving That Point Des
cided by the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-A decision
was rendered by the United States
supreme court this afternoon in the
Virginia habeaS corpus cases of Attor-
ney General Ayers and COmmOnwealth'S
Attorneys Scott and McCabe, who
were imprisoned by order of Judge
Bond, of the United States circuit
court, for diSObedience to restraining
order fOrbiding them to bring suits for
the collection of taxes in cases where
tenders have been made by tax-receiva-
bic coupons cut from state bonds. This
court, in a very long and elaborate
opinion by Justice Matthews, hold thae
the suit in which Judge Bond issued
the restraining order in the circuit
court, although nominally a suit against
individuals, is i'll reality a suit against
the state of Virginia, and as such for
hidden by the eleventh amendment to
the federal constitution; that the
United States circuit court had, there
fore, no authority to entertain such
suit; that i'll so doing and in issuing q
restraining order to prevent the officers
of the state from discharging their duties
under the laws of the state, Judge
Bond was acting without constitutional
warrant, and that the restraining order
and all subsequent proceedings under
it, including the arrest and impriSOn-
ment of the petitioners, were illegal and
without authority. The court therefore
directs that the petitioners, Attorney
General Ayers and commemorative
Attorneys Scott and McCabe, be at once
discharged. The opinion, which is that
of the whole court, without a dissenting
voice, sustains the state of Virginia al
all points, and virtually declares that q
state as political sovereignty cannot
be sued nor cOerced in the federal
courts. either by an action brought
against her by name or by an action
brought against her officers in their Off
cial capacity. The court declares that
the eleventh amendment establishes a
distinction between contracts made by
individuals with each other and con-
tracts made by individuals with state.
The latter class cOnnOt be enforced by
the remedies used to enforce the former.
that is by suits in the United States
courts, and they are, therefore, with
out sanction except in so far as such
sanction is given to them by the honor
and good faith of the contracting state.
Such state may consent to be sued in it's
own courts, or in the federal courts, for
breach of contract, but it may at any
time withdraw such consent and resume
its sovereignty. and it cannot then be
judicialIy cOerced at the request of an

and fired. The ball passed through her
neck, inhicting a severe wound, and
imbedded itself in the ceiling The
children, frighted by the desperate
deed of their mother, fled from the
house. Their cries and the report of
the shot attracted the attention of
neighbors, who, when approaching the

THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
An Important Decision Affecting
tho Aufhoritu OF Ctataa

tIAC icJ VI hotoSSS'
WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-An important
deci sion, and one likely to be far-reach-
ing in its consequences, was rendered
in the supreme court to-day in the So
called Kansas prohibition cases of Mug
ler against the state of Kansas and the
state of Kansas against Zie1old and
others. The Judgment of the court was
announced in long and elaborate Opin-
ion by Justice Harlan, who said: 1.-The
general question in each case is whether
the prohibition statutes of Kansas are
in conflict with that clause of the Four
teenth amendment which provides that
no state shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United
States, nor shall any state deprive any
person of life, liberty OF property, with
out due process of law" The legiSla-
ton by state prohibiting the manu-
facture within her limits of intoxicating
liquors, to be there sold or bartered for
general use as a beverage, does
not necessarily infringe any right, priv
ilege or immunity secured by the con-
stitutien OF the United States, is made
clear by the decisions of the court, Ien-
dered before and since the adoption Of
the Fourteenth amendment. 1t is, how
ever, cOIltcnueu tIldG although tne StdG0
may prohibit the manufacture of intOX-
icating liquors for sale or barter within
her limits for general use as beverage,
no convention or legislature has the
right, under our form of government, to
PROHIBIT ANY CITIZEN
from manufacturing for his own use OF
for export or storage any article of food
or drink not endagering or affecting the
rights of others. The argument made
in support of the first branch of this
proposition briefly stated is: That in
